Predictive Scenario Modelling

Introduction

As an information model of an asset is created, construction programme activities scheduling data can be added to components, generating an accurate alignment of programme information, enabling step-by-step visual review of a project’s development. This process is known as ‘4D BIM’, and encapsulates predictive scenario modelling as a part of this.

What is predictive scenario modelling?

Predictive scenario modelling is possible through time-related information being associated to components within a model. This information could include details on lead time, construction and installation period, curing and drying allowances or sequencing.

By including this additional information, we are able to quickly analyse scenarios which clients and project managers may wish to review in order to make informed decisions on outcomes.

Our Solution

Our use of predictive scenario modelling enables us and our clients to fully understand potential options and variations to the construction planning and sequencing of a project. These may arise from issues on site, delays and missed project milestones,

The inclusion of time-related attribute data also enables 3D visuals of a projects development to be created, showing how it will be constructed and how both the structure and surrounding site will appear at each phase. This is hugely beneficial in terms of planning work in a safe and logical way that maximises efficiency on site.

With programme and visual information like this to hand, our experts can effectively prototype assets in a virtual environment first and provide rapid feedback on design or methodology changes to other members of the project team.

This approach enables Waldeck to minimise last minute on-site design co-ordination work and eliminate waste from the delivery process. Efficiency created can streamline the cost for project teams and increase their capacity, whilst reducing overall delivery costs for clients.

Predictive scenario modelling is also a powerful tool for communicating the phases and impact of a built asset with local stakeholders during delivery and once completed, which enhances stakeholder engagement from project concept through to completion.

Benefits

Enriched interaction with stakeholders

Improved stakeholder engagement

Enhanced visibility and clarity of planning

More proactive and engaged program meetings

More effective and prompt evaluation of program options alternatives

Work is planned in a safe and logical way that maximises efficiency on site

Enhanced construction and coordination

Enables a sequence of events to be portrayed visually on a timeline that is easily understood

The construction sequences can be inspected as a series of problems that enables users to explore options, manage solutions and improve the results

Enables construction product development

Collaborative project implementation

Different analogies can be made between the ‘as-built’ and the planned schedules for the benefit of improving the overall management during the entire project lifecycle
